Title

English: Great Northern Railroad freight sheds, Seattle.

Description

English: Looking southeast from vicinity of S. King St. near 1st Ave.

Subjects (LCTGM): Railroad shops & yards--Washington (State)--Seattle
Subjects (LCSH): Great Northern Railway Company (U.S.)

The Great Northern was the first of several long freight sheds to extend south from King Street; others would be built in the years immediately following. This is indeed "looking southeast from vicinity of S. King St. near 1st Ave." but the Great Northern Railway freight sheds here are more or less even with Second Avenue. In other words, this extends through the area where the big stadiums are today (and the area that until the 2010s was their north parking lot, and is now increasingly developed).
